Another depression thread ! ! SORRY ! !

Post Reply New Topic

In the past I have always found that I could snap myself out of low period by simply listening to HAPPY MUSIC - in fact I have always suggested it in other threads .

The thing is my current depression has really got a hold of me like never before.

I have turned to St John's Wort - in a solution form 1 ml - three times daily - this is my third day and can't say that I am feeling any different.

I will keep you posted ! !

Hi sorry to hear your feeling down, you sound a little like me. I use to rely on music and St Johns Worts also seemed to help quite a bit.

But since have found exercise, good healthy diet no bad stuff vital to keep my moods balanced, also have found painting, writing really helps, can express my moods that way, instead of keeping feelings inside..

Would say good sleep, but have never slept much and do not want to take medication for sleeping. Do still drink coffee, only in mornings, but if moods get bad find better to cut right down on..

For females - I use to also think my moods were to do with PMT, but my doctor told me that the PMT only made things worse, already had symptoms, so as my symptoms are a part of who I am, I try and live with them rather than fight against...

and choose to withdraw like an injured animal from time to time, my recharge time...

Music always cheers me up too. I've tried the St. John Wort, can't say it did much for me. Hope you get to feeln better.

Don't apologize for being depressed. That makes me feel like I have to apologize for posting depression stuff.

Don't give up on the st. John's wort just yet it takes from 2 to 3 weeks to kick in as it has to build up in your system.


by the way don't take the dosage on the bottle its normally not enough. I take 3 300mg pills nightly.

it's not perfect but it does help disassociate you from things enough to start to get working again. I would also high recommend taking a good vitamin B complex vitamin with the St. John's wort.

Do some good research on the stuff online before you just try it. I got a lot of useful info online on the proper way to take St. John's wort that way.


edited to add that some brands are total crap and you need to find the highest quality stuff I have had good results with GNC's brand but I'm sure theres even better ones out there. if you just went down to wallmart to get it it could be such poor quality that its not going to do anything.

Thanks peeps !

I got the St John's Wort solution as I read it was the fastest working / most concentrated .

5 days now and no signs of my depression lifting ..... although I keep catching glimpses of the TV News which doesn't help.

Like I said 2 to 3 weeks for it to kick in its a light anti-depressant though so don't expect it to be too dramatic
or that you will be normal all of a sudden one day. but after the second week or so you should be able to perceive a difference.
